Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing: Materials, Processes, and Systems , 2/e

This book takes a modern, all-inclusive look at manufacturing processes, but also provides a substantial coverage of engineering materials and production systems. Materials, processes, and systems are the basic building blocks of manufacturing and the three broad subject areas of this book.
